Re: Updating the suspension
Wes on here sells a USA made kit for our Blazers. I'm ordering a set today.

I also highly recommend the Bilstien 5100 series gas charged shocks. The Fox bypass shocks could definitely be tuned to give a better ride. But the cost significantly more.
Lastly, I installed a set of fully adjustable load assist air bags in the rear of my Blazer to help support my slide in camper and reduce body roll. They work great. They also work great at reducing body roll without the camper. I don't run front sway bar, and don't need to with the bags in the rear.
